In one corner for the Minnesota Vikings — it’s the theory that general manager Rick Spielman will trade down from his 14th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, a usual draft tactic for the 58-year-old.
The other corner hosts the trade-up camp. The Vikings essentially never trade their top draft asset in favor of a higher rung on the ladder. However, this is formally draft week, and rumors from all sides rum rampant.
The most stimulating option is to trade up because of the infrequency by which this occurs in Minnesota. The trade-up theory was kickstarted on Monday morning with a Tom Pelissero video.
